Advocating the Advocate

Katy Wolk-Stanley, a nurse in Portland, Oregon, knows how to suck all the marrow out of the bones of life while keeping her cash firmly in her wallet. Her blog, The Non-Consumer Advocate, has been generating no small amount of press as of late, and for good reason. Wolk-Stanley relays the experiences she and her family undergo trying to be conscientious consumers, or even non-consumers, when the occasion merits it. Her motto “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without” is a credo I couldn’t support more fervently.

She posted a sweet little “Small Measures” roll-call today on The Non-Consumer Advocate. I invite you to take a gander at it, and then check out the rest of her blog, as well. There’s a wealth of tips there that we could all benefit from.
